THE IONE INDEPENDENT Publlihed Every Friday by Y. HEAD, liMor Publisher subsc nmioN! On year (1.60 Six montht 76 Thif month .BO Entered second 'lass manor at the postoffic at lone. Oregon, under act of Mnr li 3. 1S7! Friday, Au just 1.1924 Will History Repeat Itself? The nomination of LaFollette nd Wheeler on the Progressive ticket develops he possibiliiy of an election condition for which there id but one parallel in American Hiitory, the election of John Quincy Adams in 1S24. Briefly stated the situation is this: There are 48 states with a total electoral vote of 504. With three tickets in the field it may happen that no candidate has a majority in the Electoral College. In that event the election devolves upon the House of Representatives, and there tne total number of votes is 48, one for each state, and a majority is necessary to a choice. The vote of a state is determin ed by the vote of the represents tion from that state. If the representation is evenly divided the result will be a tie and the state wilt lose its voice in the election except in the doubtful event that some member crosses the party line, or the delegation breaks the tie by lot In the present House 23 states have Republican majorities in their delegations, 20 states have Democratic majorities and 5 are tied. The 5 states having squal ly divided delegations are Maryland, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire and New Jersey Should the Democrats carry every state now having a Demo cratic majority in the lower house the party would have 205 votes in the Electoral College. If we add to this the 38 electoral votes of the 5 states now equally divided in the House of Repre sentativs they would have 243 - votes or ten less than a majority. If the Republicans carry every state that they now control in the House, they will have 261 votes or 8 more than a majority The unknown quantity is La Fol lette, Does bis strength lie in Democratic or Republican terri tory? Will he carry enough states to destroy the hope of majority for either major party candidate or will the progressive ticket destroy the present polit ical balance and by a popular plurality give one or the other 1 great majority in the Electoral College? Cigarette Smoker Jailed The Cascade National Forest reports that Thos. Casey was arrested for smoking a cigarette on a closed area, in violation of federal regulation. He was arrainged before the U. S. Commissioner at Eugene. Report states that he plead guilty and was sentenced by the U. S. District Court at Portland, to serve 11 days in jail. Another interesting case re cently reported was that of a sheep herder named Holt, in the employment of J. W. Fisher of Chanico, who left his camp fire burning near Olallie mountain, on the Cascade National Forest. The fire was discovered by Forest officers, extinguished, and com plaint filed against Holt. To save time and expense of a trip to Eugene and back, Holt is said to have plead guilty by .telephone, received his sentence, and sent in his check for $15. The case was handled by Judge Wells, of, Eugene. Supervisor Macduff of the Cascade National forest states that this is the first trial Dy leiepnone, ana tne nrst case of a sheepman being careless with a campfire, on this Forest. Forest Service Dept. LIKE A PHOENIX FROM THE FLAMES The people of the Northwest were dismayed Wednesday after noon, July 23. when they heard of the disas.er which had overtaken the great Pacific International Livestock Expo'si tion. Its magnificent building in North Portland, Oregon, caught fire lrom a burning shingle mill, and in a half hour was" reduced to ashes. This splendid plant, thejlargest and most conveniently arranged ana equipped structure of its i ; j a 1 1 1 n ma mine woria, covered ovtr ten acres of land. It cost approx imateiy $oUO,UW. However, it was insured for about $350,000, and General! Manager O. M. Plummer states positively that the Exposition will be held Nov 1 to 8, inclusive, without fail, and that already assurances are coming from every quarter of the compass of aid and entries of livestock. He says: "The Exposition will be bigger and better than ever. Naturally, all our plans have not been com pleted, but we expect to rebuild and work will be commenced at once. The Pacific International Live Stock Exposition is so solidly founded and so important an institution that even a great blow such as this cannot halt its growth and progress." The new building which wiil take the place of the one just destroyed will follow the same plan, so admirable did that plan prove to be. The amphitheater probably will be made somewhat larger, but the general construc tion will be the same as before. It seems that it cannot be bettered. Pacific International Lwe Stock Exposition Co. Johnny Eubanks had an ex citing and dangerous experience last week, when a horse he was riding bareback ran away with him. John was trying to round up another horse on the Halver son place, when the animal he was riding nolted, jumped a wire fence and then after running some distance, stopped suddenly on the edge of a steep and rocky slope. John went on over the horses head anb when he was found an hour and a half later was pretty badly bruised and skinned up. Johnny is alright now except for a cut in his forehead, an injured finger, a badly swollen elbow and a bruised hip. Mr. R. W. Brown who had his feet badly burned some weeks ago, has so far recovered that he has gone to work again. , MORGAN LIFE Franklin Ely went over to Pendleton, Friday afternoon, and brought Miss Gladys Pierrott to spend the week end at Mor gan with friends.
